Jon Hamm attends the first ever Critics' Choice Television Awards where he chats about directing the first episode of the upcoming season of "Mad Men." Also, with the success of "Bridesmaids," would he be willing to do a sequel? (Published Tuesday, March 4, 2014)

Though “Mad Men” is officially confirmed for the next two seasons, Jon Hamm, alias Don Draper, has just signed on for three.

The folks over at Entertainment Weekly report that AMC and Hamm recently made a deal—to clarify, an eight-figure deal—with the production company Lionsgate TV for three years.

Previously, creator Matthew Weiner had only guaranteed two seasons.

While we won’t see the retro show on the small screen until 2012, EW reports that the writers are hard at work.
